Beschreibung

Can one quiet woman's imagination shake an entire village? In this delightful classic of British fiction, the pen truly is mightier than the gossip.
Originally published in 1934 and newly embraced by modern readers, Miss Buncle's Book is a timeless novel of quiet rebellion, unexpected transformation, and the magic of seeing--and being seen. Beloved for its dry humor, unforgettable cast, and loving satire of village life, it's perfect for fans of Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, The Enchanted April, and Barbara Pym.
Barbara Buncle--a respectable spinster with dwindling savings--decides to write a novel for extra income. With no imagination (or so she thinks), she turns to what she knows best: her sleepy village of Silverstream. But when her fictional town bears more than a passing resemblance to real life, the neighbors take notice--and not kindly.
What begins as a whimsical experiment becomes a spark that transforms the entire community. And as fiction and reality blur, Barbara must decide whether a book can truly change her world--or just her place in it.
Full of cozy village charm, sly wit, and a quietly subversive heroine, this novel-within-a-novel is a celebration of the transformative power of storytelling.
Praise for Miss Buncle's Book:
"Delightful, charming, warm, cosy..." -- She Reads Novels
"This vintage book, which was written in the 1930's, is an absolute charmer, like its main character." -- book addiction
"If you want to read a cute/funny, charmingly delightful book, pick up Miss Buncle's Book and devote an afternoon to reading. You will finish this book in that afternoon!" -- Book Lovers Paradise
